About Me

My photo
Lover of God, wife to an incredible man, freelance writer, world traveler, and avid dreamer. I am a mother of three amazing children. To me, children are one of our greatest untapped sources of creativity, inspiration and innovation. Their dreams and abilities necessitate our investment in them. If you follow God's plan for your life, you can't fail. So ask Him to show you what it is and help you walk it out.

The Power of Imagination-Pt 2

This thing called imagination is far more powerful than we had ever considered.

If we are going to succeed or fail, we first imagine it.

If you consider people like Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, Barbara Askins and Dr. Charles Drew, you can see that they first had an idea and imagined it into reality.   Now, please don't misunderstand, it also requires lots of hard work, and an unwillingness to quit, no matter what.  But determination and intense effort are only part of the equation.

  If I am going to finish strong this year, I cannot be what I call a firecracker.  You start out bright, then fizzle out and cannot be lit again.  So in order to avoid the fizzle out, you have to ,(as my pastor put it), retool and refuel.
Many Christians can look back at past failures and assume it was a faith failure or that they didn't hear from God correctly.  For many of us, a little imagination and perseverance has been the missing part.
